About me
Throughout my adult life I have had a passion for helping people toward a greater sense of well-being and to learn how to be transformed by the renewing of the mind. When human beings experience severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. My desire is to bring healing to people who are going through difficult times. I help individuals and couples rediscover a healthier view of themselves and strengthen their relationships.
I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, so I have experience in a range of modalities including cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and relational therapies. Additionally, there are so many counselors out there and it is overwhelming, even paralyzing, to find the right one. So, I am providing some information here so you can make an informed decision on working with me. The rest you may find on my website

My Approach
I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, so I have experience in a range of modalities including cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and relational therapies.
There are a few things that I have seen materialize over my years as a counselor/coach:
Being more satisfied and content is achievable at most any age and phase of life.
You may have already waited a long time, so why wait any longer?
I will provide you with some proven tools to help you change your thinking and behaviors.
If you do not act now, more years may disappear without a single beneficial change in your life
